| Secret x7960 W/S. {Derby Works / Sales} Sg. {Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} from Wor. {Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} Copy to Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} Wory_T1.2.35. Re Marles Type Steering on my car. Sg {Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} 10/E30.1.35. Unfortunately I have done very little driving with the car except backwards and forwards to the Works, but generally I like the steering better than my old one. It is steadier and less liable to road shocks - indeed I think it is very good in this direction, and it is lighter to use, that is to say, it does not cause so much fatigue, but I should like to have much more experience with it on some long runs, which I will arrange when the weather gets better. However, I understand this type of steering will be fitted on one of the Spectre(Codename for Phantom III) cars. Wor. {Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} | ||
